LITTLE ROCK, Dec. ia special from

tive cyclone visited Armstrong Academy.

urday morning, causing great destruction
to property and loss of life. The following
are the casualties as far as known: French

killed: A B. Lincoln, Washita, killed;
Henderson Jack, Green, killed; Peter
Reson, Green, killed; two children, names
unknown, killed. VIM. Covington, Arm
strong academy. both legs broken; Henry
Wait, Washita, arm and leg broken; Mrs.
Wait, WaShita, arm broken.
A terrible rumbling sound was heard
about > O'Clock. 1t startled the few set
tiers from their sleep to awake them TO the
horror of immediate death. A heavy black
cloud, funnel shaped, was seen in the dis
tance and rapidly approaching. When
about 4 mile north of TT. Washita it
struck the ground, and from this point
south for mile the work of ruin was con-
tinued. The cyclone Travelled at the rate
slant from the time it struck
the earth half of the houses in
FIT. Washita were in ruins. Light houses
and dwellings were picked up and made
INTO klndiIng wood by the fury OF the wind.
Armstrong academy was not greatly in
iured, but ranches in the immediate neigh
borhood suffered greatly At Green, a
little hamlet six miles south of Armstrong
the damage was very heavy and many per-
SONS were injured. Seventeen houses and
a general store were carried away bodily
while horses and cattle within the territory
covered by the storm king, We're killed or
MANNED.
The damage at this time cannot, of
course. be estimated as the full extent OF
the storm is not known. The two children
killed at Green were carried about sixty
yards by the wind and dashed to the
ground, mangled 50 as to be almost I'M
recognizable. Many cattleand other stock
we're also killed by lightning. The storm
only lasted about six minutes at any one

A DRAM-SHOP VICTORY,

CHICAGO Dec l9-.Judge McAIlister this
morning decided that the city ordinance
prohibiting the sale of liquor to minors
was void. 4 few days ago Oscar Matthias,
who keeps concert saloon, was arrested
for selling wine to Lille St Clair, It.
year old girl, who was abducted by young
man whom she had met III the councert
saloon. Matthias applied for release
under the habeas corpus act.
The judge held that that portion of the
ordinance which revokes Il saloon keepers
license on the second offense is uncOnsti
tutional.
Among grounds for this opinion are that
the general incorporation act does not give
the city council power to levy fines not to
exceed 500 and to imprison the offender
not to exceed six months Forfeitures Of
license is neither fine nor Imprisonment.
Again, the iramshOp act provides punish
ment to saloon keepers selling to minors,
except in cases where the minor brings
written request from parent. The Ordi-
nance further Furnishes seller or giveraway
of drink, regardless OF such, thereby con
tTavening the same
Matthias was discharged and the decis-
ion gives great JOY to saloon keepers

SUITS AGAINST THE UNITED STATES.

Hon. J. Randolph Tucker called up his
bill this week which provides for bring
ing suits against the United States, and
it was passed without amendment.
The bill relates chiefly to the Court Of
Claims, whose jurisdiction it extends (;
but il includes the District and Circuit
Courts OF the United States, comforting
on them concurrent jurisdiction in cases
where the money value does not exceed
$4,000. The Court Of Claims shall have
jurisdiction over all claims founded
on the Constitution Of the United
States, such as just compensa-
tion for property taken for public use,
and over all damages, liquidated or UNI
liquidated, upon the single condition that
the party would be entitled to redress
against the United States in court Of
law, equity, or admiralty, if the United
States were suable. The Court of Claims
is to have jurisdiction over demands on
the part of the United States for all "set-
offs" counter-claims, or claims for
damages. There is a clause in the bill i'm
posing the limitation of six years on all
claims under it, which excludes war
claims, and it is especially declared that
the act does not include these or cases Of
captured and abandoned property or cot
ton claims. Right of appeal is secured
to each party to the Supreme Court. If
made law it would save much time and
labor in Congress, and would, moreover
secure degree of justice now quite un-
attainable.
Mr.. Tucker will close his congressional
career with a good piece of work.

Governor West, of Utah Territory, says
that the Tucker bill will go further than
any other measure tried hitherto to bring
the polygamous old goats of Mormonland
to proper sense of the respect due to
decency and morality. He says that the
whole difficulty is that the Mormon creed
has engrafted in the minds of the women
a fanatical idea that the greatest social
and religious good in community is at
tanned by the efforts of one wife to secure
others for the same husband.
Thus the very purcst instinct of woman
IN her social state is criminally uprooted
by the villainy of set of frauds who
took ribald satire on polygamy and alb
solutely persuaded their followers that it
was divine creed

VIE GREAT AMERICAN UNIVERSITY

We mean no institution put up on ac-
cepted notions Of training, nor any edu-
cational machine, BIZ or small; but the
great American university of life. There
are no schools that can take the place OF
the high school of home, where father
and mother are Tectors and teachers, and
older brothers and sisters are tutors and
fellows. A parent should not throw
up the sponge, and allow himself I'M
equal to his privileges, by sending
of and committing child for the
moulding of his character or the furnish
ing Of his mind to the chances of a great
boarding school When parents love
high manhood and womanhood, they are
the divinely appointed and best trainers
Of their children, whose minds and hearts
either vices or their virtues will surely
determine.
Taught in the high school of home the
principles of truth pureness, and virtue,
what grand privileges does the grand
university of America offer Education,
valuable knowledge, powerful intellec
tusl and moral stimulants are in the

The coal strikers illustrate this already
often-illustrated principle, viz: That they
have an inherent right to demand what
wages they choose; but that no citizens
rights can extend to interfering with the
rights of others to employ whom they
choose and at whatever wages the en-
plOyees choose to accept Beneath the
whole fabric of law, and indeed OF re-
publican popular freedom, is this princi-
pie, that every mans rights extend to
where the rights of others begin, and no
further.
BY this fact we ascertain invariably
how the contests between employers and
employees are to be judged.
Employees have a perfect right not to
work, but the employer has a right to
employ some one else, and that some one
else must be allowed to make lis bargain

mean more than threat of war 1t
means military establishment 50 power
full that its head can command the peace

out at length that it Is ambition or sensa-
ton, not a real desire for war. that i'm
pels France to prepare such ornaments
and again he points out that if an ambi-
tious ruler in France should attempt for
revenge" to break the peace of Europe
the safest way is TO have the means to
deprive the disturbing element of its
power. a military authority explains
that though Germany might not be able
to fight Russia and France together, yet
should such contest occur, England,
Austria, and Italy could not afford to LEI
Germany be crushed, because their turn
would come next.
But the Assembly refused to grant the
appropriation, and Bismarck will be
obliged to appeal to the country.
